Can you please let me know if anyone on here uses Digg and if so what you use if for?

I have been doing some reading up on social networking and was wondering if anyone has 'given it a go'

Cheers.

Tried and forgot in a week.
Too much noise, and not much worthy...

I submit every story of my blog to digg.

I usually use digg to submit my articles and some links in it, it drives some traffic to my site!

I've used digg. But, I don't use it on a daily bases.

Woo hoo! Someone agrees!

**bakerc** · 08-28-2008, 06:48 PM

So is the general theme here that its not worth the effort?

**juliensimon** · 08-28-2008, 08:09 PM

well. it doesn't take much time. I write an article a week in average. I submit it to digg and it has driven some traffic.
My point is: if you use it, you might get a little traffic, a poor link but it takes a little bit of time
if you don't use it: you will be just fine.

You won't here me offering a different opinion

there are a couple of groups of members who will bang on about the miraculous effects of it though ...

(No prizes on offer for guessing who BTW)

I thought we were talking about using Digg as users? In other words, going to Digg.com to find interesting things to read or check out?

**bakerc** · 08-28-2008, 09:41 PM

Sorry John,

I was interested in that but mainly I was asking if it is worth doing to generate traffic to your site. But from what I can gather its not worth bothering with.

I know it has a ton of readers and submitters, but I freakin hate Digg! It's "busy-ness" if that's even a word - drives me crazy. I love the interface and ease of use of Mixx! And also because it's an underdog to digg. So I use it.
